GRC's Space Academy

We last set foot on the moon 50 years ago. And we’re doing it again. So now what? Let’s look at what moon travel is good for. We’ll examine it as a jumping-off point for Mars travel. What would it take to put a base on the moon? What resources are there already? What did we leave there the first time and why? Who should get to go to the moon? To Mars? We’ll do some electrolysis experiments with water, and a mirror/laser activity. And of course, it wouldn’t be Space Academy without creating/coding some LEGO robots, and building/launching model rockets! (Students will be divided into smaller groups by grade, and curriculum adjusted accordingly.) (1st - 5th graders)
